I have a friend that I am help building a scotch collection. I'm currently looking to recommend a Highland and slay in the $40.00 range. My personal favorites would be a Glenmorangie 10 year and a Lagavulin 10 year. What are your thoughts?

He can have just about 2 bottles of the Tomatin 12 with that budget.

One of my favorite Scotches in the $40 range is Ardmore Traditional Cask. It is a real gem at that price.

Start him with the McClelland line, where he can get both a Highland and a Speyside for about that price.

Pretty good recommendation with the Ardmore and actually I find it under $30 all the time,tough to beat at those prices.

I'd buy multiple bottles at those prices. I've never seen it for under $40 in my area.

There's no Lagavulin 10, but both the Laphroaig 10 and Ardbeg 10 are essential.

Bruichladdich Laddie Ten is a great Islay option that in some ways drinks more like a Highland.

Man, you're gonna want to cry when I tell you that there's one place around here that has been selling ATC for $20!! I bought so much of the stuff that I'm burning out on it just from consuming a case or more in the last six months. But it really is a fine whiskey.

Unfortunately for us, the Ardbeg 10 is now consistently in the $55-$65 range around here after many years in the low $40's. But who can argue with Laphroaig 10 for $40?

If you're looking to buy one bottle at a time and want a true Highland malt (as opposed to a Speyside), you can't go wrong with Clynelish 14 or Old Pulteney 12. If you enjoy Glenmorangie 10, you should really like these two, though the Clynelish is generally mid-$40's or so. I know of a place around here that sells the OP12 for $25 which is a ridiculously good price.
